An obituary can celebrate a life lived well. But most people haven’t given much thought about how to tell a loved one’s story, or their own, in an obituary. Learn how with writer Ken Garfield in a lively free program from The Ivey memory day care center on Tuesday, April 9. Choose one of two sessions: 2 pm - 4 pm or 6 pm - 8 pm. The Ivey is located at 6030 Park South Drive in Charlotte. Former religion editor at The Charlotte Observer, Garfield will share his experiences writing hundreds of obituaries over the years, from the renowned to the little known. He will outline how to prepare an obituary well ahead of when it’s needed, whether for a loved one or for yourself, and talk about what should be included. There will be plenty of time for questions and conversations. Garfield is director of communications at Myers Park United Methodist Church.
